Agroza (Cifo) olive tree nutrition program provides a balanced nutrient mix for maximum production in the olive grove and the best oil yield at the time of harvest.
It is now an established fact that, when it comes to olive growing, there are two particular characteristics of Greek production in the world:
the absolute quality of domestic olive oil and therefore of extra virgin, as well as its exceptional varieties, with unique morphological, physiological and agronomic characters.
The basic balance of the Greek olive growing system lies in the ability of farmers to combine aspects such as the needs of the soil, the typical processing tradition and the market-based techniques applied to ensure high and stable production.
The importance of managing agronomic objectives
Technical progress in this field increasingly highlights the need for the Greek farmer to guarantee control of those points that are critical for the quality of the oil, a control that must necessarily go through the correct management of the physiological and nutritional needs of the plant.
The next months will be decisive and decisive for the production of the harvest, which is why it is necessary to start implementing targeted plans now and set very clear objectives: one of the agronomic objectives for the next months is that concerning the “filling” of the fruits (flesh development), a factor that directly affects the next fertilization phase.
Today, we know that during this phase, palmitic and stearic acid give way to oleic and linoleic acid, which determine the increase in fatty acid content, to support the growth of all small fruits, preventing stress and fruit drop.
Algae and amino acids, essential allies
To support the yields and quality of olive oil, Cifo exploits the beneficial properties of algae and amino acids through the use of two specific nutritional products:
Macys BC 28, a pure concentrate of Macrocystis Integrifolia algae, recognized as a biostimulant, which can also be used in organic farming, very rich in biologically active substances such as vitamins, amino acids, laminins, alginates and natural hormones. Substances useful for plants, to increase production levels and resistance to environmental stress.
The use of Macys BC 28 allows the physiological and metabolic functions of plants to be intensified during the sensitive phases of fruit setting and “filling” of the fruit.
Sinergon Plus, a biostimulant for foliar use, thanks to the special relationship between free amino acids, in particular between glycine and proline and hydroxyproline, performs a powerful activating action on plant physiology, contributing, in synergy with Macys BC 28, to improving the vegetative-reproductive balance of the plant, to enhancing fruit setting and “filling” of the fruits.
Different solutions for different needs
To combine high productivity with excellent organoleptic characteristics, it is very important to complete the nutrition process, providing nitrogen, potassium and trace elements that are immediately assimilable, which is why it is important to use Floral K. It is characterized by rapid and complete dissolution and low salinity.
Dosages and applications:
Macys BC 28: 1.5 L/10 acre, 2 foliar applications, after fruit set and during fruit growth
Sinergon Plus: 2.5 L/10 acre, 1 foliar application, after flowering
Floral K: 2.5 L/tn, 1-2 foliar applications, after the start of color change
